CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Ready For Christmas

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Ready for Christmas. And, for once, I AM ready! (Well, my Christmas shopping is done, anyway.) Are you ready? 😁

I stamped the bear and gifts with black Memento ink and colored with Stampin' Blends before using the matching dies to cut them all out.  The beautiful fancy labels in the background are from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies that will be available in the upcoming January-April mini catalog. And the greeting fit perfectly in the Three Banner Punch!

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF897

 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch, and it was a great jumping off point for the cards that were sent to friends this Thanksgiving:

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla was embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder, then adhered to a Very Vanilla card base. 

A 1-3/8" x 4-3/4" strip of Cajun Craze was adhered 1" from the bottom edge of the card. After die cutting images from Autumn Toile DSP, they were adhered to 1-1/4" x 2-1/16" pieces of Very Vanilla and popped up over the Cajun Craze strip.

I carefully inked just the "So incredibly grateful" part of the greeting stamp to get the front greeting, then cleaned the stamp and carefully inked the rest of it ("for all my blessings, especially you!") to stamp inside the card. Some Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments added a little sparkle. Here's another one with slightly different patterns:

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Holiday Magic

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Holiday Magic. The Jolly Delivery stamp set had the perfect greeting for this theme, and the North Pole Delivery Specialty DSP had the perfect die cut images all ready to use!

I started with White Willow cardstock cut 4-1/4" x 12" and scored 3-1/4" in from each short side. When folded, it created the 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card base. I lightly brushed Azure Afternoon on the top half of each front flap, then embossed a 4" x 6" piece of White Willow with the Soft Waves folder. Snips were used to cut along the wave, splitting the embossed piece. I overlapped and glued them together to create snowy hills, and after cutting them to 3" wide, they were adhered to the card fronts.

After that, it was simply a matter of choosing which pre-cut images from the specialty DSP I wanted to add to create the scene! Looks like everyone has holiday mail to put in the mailbox. 😊 That mailbox was adhered to create a flap for tucking under the left front flap.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF896

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge are the colors Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Pool Party.

I used Pool Party for the card base and stamped snowflakes, which was the only stamping on this card! Everything else is die cuts, which made the card really come together quickly.

The Pool Party label and Old Olive banner behind the Cherry Cobbler greeting is from the Traditional Labels Dies, and the greeting from Words for the Season.

Just for fun, I added a Large Gold Hoop and some Pool Party Traditional Sparkling Sequins.
